Hi All Im new to this forum, I notice there are a few members from New Zealand, which is where I reside.

Adele is getting a make over. We call her Adele cause she's big, white and loud.


The plans are to basically update her running gear to make her a bit more comfortable to drive.


After a trip to SEMA the following parts have been ordered and are expected to be delivered on the 4th December, so I know what I will be doing over Christmas.


Motor LS3 with 4L65E transmission
Eddie Motorsports front Billet Pulley setup
HydraBoost Brakes with Wilwood Master Cylinder
Wilwood Discs on all corners
Ride Tech Air Ride suspension including all new upper / Lower "A" Arms
Dakota Digital Instrument cluster
Stealth Fuel Tank
Hedman Headers
Performance Fit EFI Radiator
Custom Engine & Trans Mounts
Upgraded cam shaft and springs


Hopefully all the parts for the conversion should bolt up and bolt in with very little adjustment, I suppose only time will tell. Here the pics before the update.

HI, welcome to the forum from a fellow newby Kiwi. That sure is a nice couple of convertibles you have there, and the changes you are going to make to the gorgeous Impala will be awesome.
